History

It was the Sixties...

With its blue skies, amazing terrain and pristine powder, it's no wonder that Rod Slifer decided to call Vail home back in 1962. He set up shop as the area’s first Realtor and the rest is history. Now Slifer Smith & Frampton Real Estate is comprised of over 100 brokers in 19 offices, operating as an integral part of the community’s growth with the same passion for the Valley that started it all.
